From the Editor

T



his expanded issue of EIR, with its special re rt on "The Coming Fall of the House of Windsor," has been rushed 1nto print through a team effort of EIR' s internationally and nationally based intelligence staff under the direction of Founding Editor Lyndon H. LaRouche,

Jr. As you will note, it introduces a new level of graphic presentation of the world's physical and political geography in the series of maps, which will become the hallmark of future editions of this periodical

as well as books, slide shows, and videotape programs. The reason our writers, editors, and graphics personnel worked double-time this week to produce this issue for the Oct. 28 cover­ date is that EIR's editors can think of no more timely intervention into the U.S. midterm elections on Nov. 8, than th.e picture presented in this 6O-page condensed intelligence packet. The American elector­ ate is about to choose the entire House of Representatives and one­ third of the Senate. The outcome will have a major impact on the next two years of Clinton foreign policy. No voter can choose responsibly in this elec�ion without facing

the fact that the breaking economic and financial crises now gripping the entirety of this planet reflect the close of an approximately 500year cycle in European history. The fall of the Berlin Wall five years

ago this month, was but the first fissure in an edifice of oligarchical control which shaped the 20th century as an era pf holocaust, geno­ cide, and war. President Clinton's break with the U.S "special rela­ tionship" with Britain last summer, marks an inflection point for a new foreign policy. We must begin by understalnding the who, the what, and the why of the old, bad policy. The team of researchers who assisted in preparing material for this special report included: Joseph Brewda, Mark Burdman, Carlos Cota Meza, Linda de Hoyos, Allen Douglas, William Engdahl, Manuel Hidalgo, Ken Kronberg, Hugo Lopez Ochoa, Rogelio Ma­ duro, Marcia Merry,Silvia Palacios, Ana Maria Phau, David Ramo­

The coming fall of the House of Windsor by Lyndon H . LaRouche . Jr.

"In the event that I am reincarnated, I would like to return as a deadly virus, in order to contribute something to solve overpopulatidn . " -Prince Philip , Duke of Edinburgh 1

During the recent five years , approximately , the British press and book-publishing businesses have been occupied by an increasing intensity of scandals directed against the Royal Family . the House of Windsor. The most recent of these appeals to the prurient interest of the gossiping public . former cavalry officer James Hewitt's contributions to the authorship of Princess in Love, 2 has carried this mounting scandal above the threshold of certain influential Britons' reluctance to speak out. Exemplary is the statement early this month by I . As reported by Deutsche Press Agentur (DPA) , August 1 938 . Compare this statement with the Prince ' s 1 986 Foreword to IfI Were An Animal: "I just wonder what it would be like to be reincarnated in an animal whose species had been so reduced in numbers than it was in danger of extinction. What would be its feelings toward the human species whose population explosion had denied it somewhere to exist. . . . I must confess that I am tempted to ask for reincarnation as a particularly deadly virus." Fleur Cowles, People as Animals, Foreword by HRH Prince Philip, (United Kingdom: Robin Clark Ltd. , 1 986) . Compare the opinion of that really high-minded Prince with the words of his intellectual forerunner, Bertrand Russell: "But bad times, you say, are exceptional , and can be dealt with by exceptional methods. This has been more or less true during the 1Il0neymoon period of industrialism, but it will not remain true unless the increase of population of tbe world is enormously diminished. . . . War, so far, has had no very great effect on this increase , which continued through each of the world wars. [War] has been disappointing in this respect . . . but perhaps bacteriological war may prove more effective. If a Black Death could spread through tbe world once in every generation, survivors could procreate freely without making the world too full. . . . The state of affairs may be somewhat unpleasant, but what of it? Really high-minded people ate indifferent to happiness, especial­ ly other people ' s." Bertrand Russell, The Impact of Science Vppn Society (New York: Simon and Schuster, 1 953), pp. 1 02- 1 04 .

Harold Brooks-Baker, the publishing director of Burke's Peerage: "We are extremely close to the end of the House

of Windsor," adding that, among Britain' s "educated upper classes ," the view of the House of Windsor has become "negative . " Brooks-Baker foresaw the likelihood that the Windsors might be ousted by no later than sometime early during the next century . It is only in low-grade fiction , or in worse precincts , such as today' s major news-media, that an intimate affair with a lady (or, with a man less than a gentleman) is presented as the reason for the toppling of a throne . In fact, how little concern the general public has for either the incompetence or outrageously perverse behavior of its preferred celebrities , is shown by such disgusting phenomena as the existence of Hollywood stars' fan clubs, by the Soviet Central Commit­ tee ' s selection of a man virtually dead to succeed General Secretary Yuri Andropov , or by the all-too-frequent behavior shown by a majority of American voters almost any election night. The sexual scandals do not topple thrones , or members of the U . S . Congress; however, like assassinations , they are often dredged up, or, like judicial "railroads" of targetted public figures , concocted as pretexts employed in service of dynastic or other purely political motives . After the facts presented in this Special Report are consid­ ered, the British establishment' s strategic , historical motives for dumping the Windsors should become obvious .

However, the relevant strata of the British oligarchy are not: like us; they are typified, as an institution, by the common inhumanity otherwise seen among the leading London , Geneva, and Wall Street bank­ ers , financial houses , and the London Economist of today; for reasons to be supplied in the closing section of this report, most such persons probably would not consider genocide directed against darker-complexioned peoples of sub-sahar­ an Africa sufficient grounds for annoying the Royal Family. let alone toppling it. This report documents also the facts which do affright even the calloused consciences of London oligarchs . The Windsors continue to spread that same mass-murderous, New Age policy which we witness in the World Wildlife Fund operations against Africans , also into the Americas. Europe , Asia, and Australia. This threatens the imminent downfall of a global civilization already racked by the worst financial instability which Europe has seen since the middle of the 1 4th Century. A continuation of the policies of the Windsors , and also of the corruption-soaked former Prime Minister, Baroness Margaret Thatcher, 3 under such present 3 . A much-publicized, brewing legal !action against her son, Mark Thatcher, in Texas courts, has put the former Prime Minister into the London press limelight as a foolishly doting mother who resorted to the highest degree of corruption in office for the pu�se of elevating her peculiarly unsuitable son to millionaire status.

Think of the Windsors as like the bus driver of a vehicle, today 's remains of the British Empire. Ordinarily, the specta­ cle of the terrified passengers in a public conveyance being operated by a besotted clown, would merely amuse those sa­ dists of globalist financier oligarchy, were they themselves not among the passengers.

We show you here, from his own public utterances, that not only has Prince Philip been the titular head of this criminal conspiracy. You will discover that he has played this role with full consciousness of the criminal intent of his organiza­ tion 's policies. We show you here, that he has repeatedly stated his desire to bring about the deaths of countless mil­ lions of people, to which monstrous crime he has professed to have been driven by the same quality of motive which impelled the Conservative Revolution 's Adolf Hitler:4 to the purpose of drastically reducing certain human populations of this planet.

In the earlier portion, the evidence presented to you will focus upon the manner in which genocide was planned and executed against the nations anji populations of sub-saharan Africa. Thereafter, the focus of the evidence is shifted, to bring in facts which show that the Prince and his accomplices have used their genocide in Africa as a model for deploying the same roster of international institutions and policies in presently on-going operations against most of the world 's

being conducted against countries of Asia and continental Europe . It is readily and fairly calculated, that the policy-mea­ sures which the Prince and his accomplices have adopted, and are implementing currently would , if allowed , reduce the population of this planet from a current level of about 5.3 billions persons, to much less than 1 billion within about two generations, chiefly through the hyperbolically self-acceler­ ating impact of famine and epidemic diseases of persons , animals , and plants . Under conditions produced as a by­ product of such concentrated shock to the collective immune­ system of all higher forms of life , it is by no means assured that any human beings would exist at the close of the coming century , if the Prince and his accomplices were not stopped, and the policies reversed, now . We might hope such a holo­ caust were not certain , but we dare not risk that wish; in any case , the Prince , his accomplices , and their evil policies must be stopped now . One must not overestimate the morality of those sections of the oligarchy which are working toward the ouster of the Windsors , of the Thatcherites , or both . From the standpoint of such factions of the oligarchy , the essential crime of the Windsors and the Thatcherites (like the Bush-leaguers in the U . S . A . ) is not that the oligarchy has strong objections to the Hitler-like immorality of the Windsors' genocidal practices , but rather only the Windsors ' manifest fanatical stupidity, their decadence . No doubt, many of the eugenicists of the oligarchy view this "fanatical stupidity" as the result of some­ thing like a flaw in the family ' s genes , whether from Philip ' s side o f the family , o r to b e found already among Victoria' s brood. Put summarily , the world seems headed toward Hell in the proverbial wheelbarrow , and the Windsors (and Thatch­ erites) won't get off the track of their failed New Age experi­ ments. They appear as a degenerate stage of a species , which is no longer capable of presenting , or tolerating new ideas , at a time that valid new conceptions of policy are desperately wanted . In brief, if our adversary recognizes that his recent strate­ gic reverses are caused by the fact that several of his generals are fanatically stupid commanders , one should acknowledge the fact that this probably correct perception has arisen, but should not fear that our reporting that truth renders EIR in any sense well-wishers of the adversary' s cause . Rather, such developments on the adversary' s side as the recognition that the current basket of Windsors or Thatcher­ ites may be the proverbial "runts of the litter," should warn us not to be misled into any self-deluding scapegoating of Prince Philip . He has been but the defective instrument of a policy-interest which was defined millennia before he was born, and will be a continuing danger for at least the several decades immediately before us, after he is departed. The crime documented in this report is by far the greatest crime perpetrated in all human history: the assured destruc­ tion of all civilized human life on this planet, and perhaps , EIR

possibly , also a set of wicked actions leading to the extinction of the human species . Since 1 96 1 , Prince Philip has supplied a crucial leading role in heading up .his global criminal con­ spiracy, but he did not originate the iunderlying policy. That policy we trace immediately to the nineteenth-century Dar­ win-Huxley circles and their role in creating the Eugenics network which, among its other productions , sponsored the Hitler dictatorship in Germany , and �Iso its satellite, Marga­ ret Sanger's Planned Parenthood organization . Prince Phil­ ip ' s role should be seen as continuing that same tradition

" That conclud­ ing section will provide you jurors a summary of what known human history has to tell us about the origins and nature of the specific quality of criminality which the Prince , the World Wildlife Fund, and their accomplices represent.

The evil permeating the criminality of the Prince and his accomplices is very old, as old as the dimly lit fringes of earli­ est known history. The ultimate enemy is not this unfortunate Prince, but rather that specific tradi�ion of criminality fairly described as "oligarchism. " That oligarchism is the specific infectious agent responsible for the moral and mental sickness shown by the accused Prince and his accomplices .

verted the post-World War II Nuremberg Trials , seeking to hide our own earlier negligence behind some conspicuous suf­ fering imposed upon inculpated scapegoats . It is shown to us , respecting the character of this moment of history , that the world has tolerated for more than three decades a criminal conspiracy of an enormity already vastly exceeding , in its toll upon humanity to date , the memorable atrocities of Hitler' s crew . We do not go so far as to suggest that this signals the onset of an Apocalypse; but, it does symptomize a crisis fairly seen as permeated with an apoca­ lyptical quality . This case expresses the threatened onset of a "new dark age ," global in scope , echoing , and exceeding in intensity the "new dark ages" attending the collapse of the Roman Empire in western Europe , and the so-called "New Dark Age" of Europe' s 1 4th Century . In brief, the enormity of the Prince's crime , presently coinciding with the threatened imminent disintegration of the global monetary and financial systems , bespeaks the close of a five-hundred-odd-year cycle in the history of european civilization. To the historian , such a spectacle is to be com­ pared only with the numerous earlier, analogous cases of closing periods of dynastic collapse which have characterized the known history of every culture on this planet, prior to the Renaissance advent of modem European Christian civiliza­ tion. No dynasty , however ancient or powerful , of whatever culture, has ever survived the end of such a dynastic cycle . The Windsors show no talent for becoming an exception to that rule . Such evidence helps the jurors assembled better to under­ stand that this Windsor dynasty were almost certainly turned into a pitied relic very soon , whatever we do or fail to do in this proceeding . Our task is not to punish the Windsors (although we may be hastening their retirement) , but rather to act with greater prudence than any ruling culture has shown at the close of any earlier time or place of apocalyptical crisis . Our work here will be rightly judged not by some silly "Nuremberg-style" sentence we might recommend for the Prince and his accomplices . It is relevant to this admonition, to recognize , from considering how many millions of onlook­ ers have tolerated the nature and scope of the crimes which the Prince has conducted openly , how little enduring good was done , or personal political courage shown by the Nurem­ berg courts after World War II . The nominally exonerated Schacht, and Auschwitz' s von Knierem had but recently de­ parted the stage , and the benches at Nuremberg had scarcely grown cold, in 1 96 1 , when the Prince and his accomplices launched a scheme vaster and more evil than any yet known to have been conducted or conceived by Hitler's crew . The crimes of the House of Windsor must be seen rightly by this jury , by borrowing the eyes of history. The Prince' s i s a most monstrous crime , but yet, more significantly , the symptom of the terminal sickness of a civilization which has tolerated the conspicuous promotion of such evil policies and agencies .

The film was "pivotal , l ' said the WWF ' s Sadrud­ din Aga Khan , in campaigns to save the elephant. WWF Director General Charles de Haes called it "a model of conservation journalism . " However, while making that film, Dowling un­ earthed some of the sordid reality of what the WWF was really doing , leading to his next film, "Tenpence in the Panda," an explosive I expose of the WWF. In a campaign called "unprecedented" in the history of Britain' s Independent Broadcasting Authority (IBA) , the WWF spent a reported $360,000 , and exerted enor­ mous political muscle on thdBA, in an attempt to kill or censor the film. An enraged Prince Philip falsely accused Dowling of stealing his top-secret memos, which demonstrated Philip' s attempts to cover up an internal WWF audit, the Phillipson Report. Parts of that suppressed report, which was devastatingly criti­ cal of WWF policies and programs , are excerpted here for the first time anywhere. Despite the pressure , "Tenpence in the Panda" aired on the widely watched British TV investigative series "The Cook Report," in July 1 990 . Dowling is currently writing what he describes as "a sensational new history of the conservation industry . "

been a cat' s-paw of the decadence of our age , and , in that way , a marker for the onrushing doom of ruling global institu­ tions bereft of the moral fitness to survive . It is that latter sickness , not the mere symptom, to which our justice must address its curative powers . We conclude these opening remarks thus : The challenge posed by the evidence set before you, is:

Can you, the jurors, be provoked by the horror of thefact that no solution for the collapse of this civilization exists under the presently generally accepted rules of conduct, into discovering the needed radical changes in axioms of poli­ cymaking, those changes which might enable humanity to rebuild a ruined society immediately from the ruins of the collapsed dynasty, without living through the intervening nightmare ofyet another "New Oark Age" ? To a summary of that purpose , we shall return in the concluding epilogue of this proteeding today.

The Trial Begins

Prince Philip 's Allgemeine S$ by Jeffrey Steinberg But the power of the House of Windsor also derives from Queen Elizabeth II' s status as the �'chief executive officer" of an informal body known to some as the Club of the Isles, which combine s the political and financial clout of a far more extensive combine of intermarried European royal and princely families that extends from Scandinavia to Greece . The estimated combined financial worth of the Club of the

Most citizens of the Americas believe that Queen Elizabeth II is a figurehead with virtually no political or financial power. Nothing could be further from the truth . As the present head of the Windsor Dynasty, she is the sole sovereign head of state of the United Kingdom and 1 6 other states , and also exerts more subtle but equally deadly authority over the other 33 nations of the British Commonwealth.

Who's who in Prince Philip's Allgemeine 88 The numbers below refer to Figure 2: 1 . Club of the IsleslHouse of Windsor: Through the Club of the Isles (see p. 1 7 ) , the Windsor Dynasty functions as primus inter pares for an extended royal family that claims the thrones of Russia, Prussia, Denmark, Sweden , Belgium, Greece , the Netherlands , Yugoslavia, and scores of smaller principalities . 2 . Prince Philip o f Greece and Denmark, Baron Greenwich, Earl of Merioneth, Duke of Edinburgh: Roy­ al Consort to Queen Elizabeth II , Prince Philip founded the World Wildlife Fund in 1 96 1 , became its International Presi­ dent in 1 98 1 . Former president, Zoological Society London (ZSL) . See p. 28 for selected quotes from his writings . 3 . Zoological Society of London: Founded in 1 826 by Sir Stamford Raffles , former Viceroy of India and founder of Singapore . Inspired the New York and Frankfurt Zoological Societies . Mother organization of the London Zoo . Royal Geographical Society (RGS). Founded in 1 830 as the Geo­ graphical Society of London; Royal Charter in 1 85 9 . Spon­ sored major colonial expeditions such as Livingstone' s and Sir Richard Burton' s into Africa. The boards of the ZSL and RGS are almost indistinguishable from that of the WWF; Prince Philip was president of the ZSL in the 1 970s . The ZSL and RGS stand at the pinnacle of the British intelligence establishment. The ZSL' s recent chief execu­ tives: Julian Huxley, 1 935-42; Field Marshal Lord Alan­ brooke, Senior Chief of Staff for the U . K . , 1 950-54; Lord Solly Zuckerman , U . K . Government Chief Scientific Advis­ er, 1 955-84; Sir Frank Chappell , the former General Com­ manding Officer (GOC) of the British Army , present direc­ tor, member of WWF-U . K . The ZSL and RGS share the WWF's eugenics ideology , and the Darwin-Huxley tribe is omnipresent in both. Eugenics "founder" Sir Francis Galton was a major mid- 1 9th century power in the RGS . Michael Huxley, Julian' s cousin , founded its Geographical Maga­ zine . RGS officials together with the WWF's Sir Peter Scott founded Survival International . 4. RTZ, Shell, Lonrho, ICI, Unilever, DeBeers, AAC: See pp. 23-24 . 5 . The Fauna and Flora Preservation Society: Found­ ed in 1 903 as the Society for the Preservation of the Wild Fauna of the Empire . Second oldest British conservation organization after the Royal Society for the Protection of Birds ( 1 889) . Has a panel of 1 08 "honorary overseas consul­ tants" in 70 countries . Maintains liaisons with most other key conservation bodies . Mother organization , with the Eugenics EIR

Society , of the IUCN and the WWF. Housed since its found­ ing in the London Zoo. Patron: Her Majesty the Queen . "The Fauna" was founded as an arm of British imperial policy under the guise of "conservation. " Its founding vice presidents , Lords Milner, Grey , Cromer, Curzon, and Minto, were all imperial proconsuls, chiefly in India and Africa. As Sir Peter Scott, FFPS chairman for most of the three decades from the 1 960s until his death in 1 989 , noted in his history of the Fauna: "Since the Empire at that time covered about a quarter of the surface of the globe , it was a fair start on interna­ tionalizing the infant wildlife conservation movement. " Chief aim ofFFPS was to expand the national park system worldwide . It convened international conferences in 1 933 , 1 9 3 8 , and 1953 to plan new national parks . Its secretary, Colonel Stevenson-Hamilton, established the Kruger Na­ tional Park in South Africa. The architect of the Kenyan National Park system, Col . Mervyn Cowie , is still an FFPS board member today . FFPS personnel have dominated the WWF and the IUCN since their founding , frequently chairing the IUCN' s two key committees , the Commission on National Parks and Protect­ ed Areas; and the Survival Service Commission , concerned with WWF-style "species preservation," chaired for almost two decades starting in 1 963 by Peter Scott. 6. The Nature Conservancy: Founded by Royal charter in 1 949 . One of the U . K . ' s four official research bodies under the Privy Council . Known as the "world' s first statutory con­ servation body ," it became one of the most powerful postwar covert operations of the Crown. From his influential post as permanent secretary to the Lord President of the Council (the deputy prime minister) , Max Nicholson wrote the legislation for the Conservancy , then left his government post to head it, 1 952-66 . Nicholson personally developed most of the major strategies and tactics of the world environmentalist movement for the next decades. He started the campaign against DDT later popularized by Rachel Carson in The Silent Spring; drafted the constitution fot the IUCN; set up and chaired the committee which established the WWF in 1 96 1 ; and chose Sir Peter Scott as the WWF ' s first chairman, who held the post for over two decades . The subtitle to his 1 970 history of the postwar environmental movement is "A Guide for the New Masters of the Earth . " 7 . IUCN, Unesco, UNEP: IUCN: The Swiss-based International Union for the Con­ servation of Nature was formed in 1 948 by Sir Julian Huxley; its constitution was written by the British Foreign Office. Bringing together 68 nations , 1 03 government agencies , and 640 non-governmental organizations , the IUCN is nominally tied to the United Nations , but is outSide of its oversight. The WWF was originally formed to fund the IUCN; many of the IUCN ' s key commissions are run by the Fauna Preservation Society . Together with the UNEP and the World Resources Institute , the IUCN launched the "Glbbal Biodiversity Strate­ gy ," which guides the conservation planning of many nations. Special Report

Its staff directly plan the conservation strategies and adminis­ ter the national parks systems of many former colonies today . It sees the preservation of "biodiversity" as its main mission . The IUCN president is Sir Shridath Ramphal , the former Sec­ retary General of the British Commonwealth 1 975 -90; its di­ rector general , Martin Holdgate , was a senior offical of the United Kingdom ' s Department of the Environment .

Unesco: The United Nations Education , Scientific , and Cultural Organization , is a Paris-based specialized U . N . or­ ganization that was designed by Sir Julian Huxley , who also was its first director general . In his founding 1 946 document , Huxley defines Unesco ' s two main aims as popularizing the need for eugenics , and protecting wildlife through the cre­ ation of national parks , especially in Africa. With a $550 million annual budget , Unesco funds a vast network of con­ servation groups ; it defines protection of the environment as one of its three main goal s . UNEP: The United Nations Environment Program was formed at the 1 972 U . N . Conference on the Environment , which was organized by WWF founder Maurice Strong . Based in Kenya, the UNEP works closely with Unesco , the IUCN , and the WWF in diverse ventures . Its World Conser­ vation Monitoring Center in Cambridge , England , jointly sponsored with the IUCN and the WWF , is the central intelli­ gence agency of the conservation movement . 8 . World Wildlife Fund (Since 1987 , World Wide Fund for Nature) : See p. 26. 9 . 1001 Club : See p . 25 . 1 0 . World Resources Institute: Founded in 1 982 under the guidance of WWF U . S . A . president Russell E. Train with generous grants from the Rockefeller Brothers Fund and the MacArthur Foundation . James Gustave Speth was appointed president . Speth was a cofounder of the Natural Resources Defense Council and formerly the chairman of the U . S . Council on Environmental Quality and the director of the Global 2000 project. After 1 1 years at WRI Speth was made head of the United Nations Development Program (UNDP) in 1 993 . WRI is the main think-tank for U . S . envi­ ronmental groups , putting forward study after study promot­ ing the new world order and the global biodiversity strategy . WRI is affiliated with the International Institute for Environ­ ment and Development in London , formerly headed by Lady Jackson (Barbara Ward) . 1 1 . Goldsmith/The Ecologist: S ir James Goldsmith and his older brother Edward are leading financiers of the WWF apparatus globally . Along with John Aspinall , major funders of Survival International and Friends of the Earth . In 1 970, Edward Goldsmith founded The Ecologist, magazine of the radical wing of the green movement . Edward also launched the Green Party movement in the U . K . which spawned Green parties in every European Community state . 1 2 . Sierra Club : The Sierra Club was founded in 1 892 by preservationist John Muir with funding from the famous robber baron E . H . Harriman . Mostly an outing club until 20

the 1 950s , the Sierra Club became a radical environmental lobbying organization under the leadership of David Brower. In 1 969 , Brower left Sierra Club to create the more radical Friends of the Earth . Later on he also founded the Earth Island Institute . Michael McCloskey replaced Brower and proceeded to refocus the S ierra Club into an organization dedicated to preventing all commercial uses of public lands in the United States . In 1 97 1 , leaders of the S ierra Club in Canada created Greenpeac e . In 1 979 , the S ierra Club and the Wilderness Society gave David Foreman a l. O -year contract to create and lead an overtly terrorist environmental organiza­ tion . That organization became Earth First ! 1 3 . Greenpeace: Founded in 1 97 1 out of the Don 't Make a Wave Committee , to coopt drug-rock-sex counterculture victims into WWF-sponsored "direct action . " Now has branches in 24 countries , with headquarters in The Nether­ lands and an annual budget of $ 1 57 million . Spawned eco­ terrorist groups Sea Shepherd , Lynx , Animal Liberation Front , and Earth First ! Current director is Lord Peter Mel­ chett , heir to the Imperial Chemical Industries fortune . Be­ hind-the-scenes operator from early years is David McTag­ gart , Canadian confidence man , who received funding from WWF Executive Director S ir Peter Scott to purchase ships to assault nuclear test ranges , whaling fleets , and seal hunters . 1 4 .

Prince Philip '8 Corporate 55 by Anthony K. Wikrent and Allen Douglas The modem multinationals typified by Royal Dutch Shell, Uni­ lever, and RlZ, which have done so much to strangle Africa and the rest of the world in the postwar period, are merely the modem, slightly disguised form of the Crown-chartered "merchant adventurer" companies of Elizabethan England and later. Like their often Venetian-sponsored Elizabethan prede­ cessors , some of which merged to become the British East India Company in the late sixteenth century, they are granted a "royal charter" to operate globally on behalf of the Crown and its associated families. The Anglo-Dutch firm Royal Dutch Shell, for instance, so prominent in Africa and in the World Wide Fund for Nature, dates from the financial arrangements estab­ lished when William of the Dutch house of Orange took the British throne in 1688 , with Venetian backing . When Africa was colonized by the European powers in the 1 880s and 1 890s , that process, too , was under charter from the Crown, to such companies as the Royal Niger Com­ pany , the British East Africa Company, and Cecil Rhodes ' s British South Africa Company. Today's WWF backers , par­ ticularly its "Africa division" listed below , as well as those in the flow chart on the following page , are the direct descen­ dants of these late-nineteenth-century Crown companies , if not earlier ones, like Shell . Tiny Rowland' s Lonrho Corp. is typical: As of 1 990 the employer of over 1 00 ,000 people in Africa, it is the continent' s major private food producer, and a powerhouse in precious metals . I n 1 96 1 , at the time Lonrho was vastly upgraded i n order to subvert and destroy the emerging independent African nations , it was a subsidiary of Cecil Rhodes ' s still-existing British South Africa Company. And , as EIR has documented in its 1 992 book, Tiny Rowland: The Ugly Face ofNeocolo­ nialism in Africa, the money and connections to launch this new British East India Co. for Africa came from City of London financier Harley Drayton and his 1 1 7 Old Broad Street Group , Crown Agents for the colonies and the manag­ ers of the private fortune of the queen . Drayton' s longtime personal assistant was the Scottish aristocrat Angus OgiIvy , whose wife , Princess Alexandra of Kent, is presently the head of WWF-U . K . From 1 96 1 on , Rowland was the chief financier for the gangs whose genocidal wars have devastated Africa. He of­ ten financed both sides of a struggle at the same time , begin­ ning with the Ian Smith regime in Rhodesia and its black opposition around Joshua Nkomo and Robert Mugabe , conEIR

tinuing into his financing both the Frelimo government and its Renamo opposition in Mozamb,que , and both the MPLA government and its Unita oppositiQn in Angola. The queen is the world' s wealthiest woman , with an ac­ knowledged fortune of $ 1 3 billion (Harpers and Queen mag­ azine , January 1 99 1 ) . In reality i � is far greater, but she is exempt from having to disclose het holdings . The following entities , with major assets particularly in Africa, are political­ ly directed by , and often substantia/lly owned by , the Crown: RTZ Corp. PLC . Second-latgest mining firm in the world . Established in 1 873 by Hugh Matheson of the Jardine Matheson opium-trading firm. RTZ ' s third chairman , Sir Auckland Geddes , worked with Sir Ernest Oppenheimer to reorganize control of raw materials production in Africa in the 1 920s and 1 930s . Anglo.American Corp. of South Africa, Ltd. Largest mining firm in the world; dominates the economy of South Africa. Constitutes, together with Ute two De Beers compa­ nies , the Oppenheimer empire . 'The RothschiIds and J . P . Morgan and Co . provided Sir Ernest Oppenheimer the fi­ nancing to cartelize diamond and gold production in South Africa between 1 902 and 1 929 . De Beers Consolidated Mind Ltd. (South Africa) and De Beers Centenary AG (Switzerland) . Control world dia­ mond production . Established by Cecil Rhodes in 1 880; by 1 88 8 , with Rothschild backing, ' controlled 90% of the world' s diamond production . Barclays PLC . Major bankin� power in Africa. Tightly controlled by the Barclay, Freame , .Bevan , and Buxton fami­ lies , the latter of which co-founded the WWF. Shell Trading & Transport PLC and Shell U.K. Ltd. World' s largest petrochemical producer. ST&T, a British holding company , owns 40% of the Royal Dutch Shell group of over 2 ,000 companies worldwi� (the other 60% is owned by Royal Dutch Petroleum Co . ) ; forged by Sir Henri Deterd­ ing in 1 903 with the French Rothschilds . N.M. Rothschild & Sons Ltd. Founded in 1 803 with the assistance of the Thurn und Taxis family , one of the "princely families" of the Hapsbutg Empire , originally the Venetian Torre e Tasso family . "NMR&S historically fi­ nanced the expansion of the Venetian-modeled British Em­ pire , as they did by bankrolling Cecil Rhodes's gold and diamonds empire . Imperial Chemical Industries PLC . Key part of world chemical cartel . Formed in 1 926 by Lord Melchett and others by merging the four largest British chemical firms .

The ' 100 1 Club ': a nature trust by Scott Thompson Membership in the " 1 00 1 Club ," founded in 1 97 1 by Prince Bernhard of The Netherlands , consort to Queen Juliana of the House of Orange , is restricted to 1 ,00 1 persons at any given time and is by invitation only . All members pay a $ 1 0 ,000 initiation fee which goes toward a $ 1 0 million trust to bankroll World Wildlife Fund operations . The club do­ nated an office building in Gland, Switzerland, which cur­ rently houses the international headquarters of the WWF and the International Union for the Conservation of Nature . Initial members were handpicked by Prince Bernhard and Prince Philip , Duke of Edinburgh. Membership includes rep­ resentatives of the royal houses of Europe , officials of British Crown corporations , and prominent figures in international organized crime .

The WWF: race science and world government by Allen Douglas The World Wildlife Fund (WWF, now the World Wide Fund for Nature) , was founded in 1 96 1 for one stated purpose: to raise money to drastically expand the operations of the International Union for the Conservation of Nature (IUCN) . Established in Gland, Switzerland in 1 948 on a British For­ eign Office-drafted constitution , l the IUCN today boasts that it is the largest "professional" international conservation or­ ganization-as of 1 994 comprising 68 states , 103 govern­ mental agencies , and over 640 non-governmental organiza­ tions, "many of global reach . " Under the cover of "conserving nature ," the WWF-IUCN has in fact dedicated itself to l ) :reduce the world' s popula­ tion , particularly in the developing sector, and 2) ensure that control of the world' s raw materials remains in the hands of a tiny handful of largely British, (or Anglo-Dutch) multina­ tionals. These two goals , WWF�IUCN spokesmen have re­ peatedly stated, require a world government. The WWF has been headed since its inception in 1 96 1 by Prince Philip , the first head of the most important national­ sector branch , the WWF-UK , wtio recruited Prince Bernhard of the Netherlands to be the first head of the WWF-Interna­ tional . After the Lockheed scandals of the mid- 1 970s , in which Prince Bernhard was caught taking million-dollar bribes to sell airplanes , Philip replaced Bernhard as head of WWF-1 . Philip was later replaced as WWF-UK head by Princess Alexandra, first cousin to the queen. That the Crown has directly run the WWF from the outset is lawful . The WWF-IUCN is a .spin-off of two of Britain' s leading imperial institutions: the Society for the Preservation of the Wild Fauna of the Empire (now the Fauna and Flora Preservation Society , FFPS , whose patron is the queen) , which laid the groundwork for the game parks throughout Africa; and the Eugenics Society. The co-founder of both the , IUCN and the WWF, Sir Julian Huxley , personally embodied these two currents . He was obsessed with population control , which he called "the problem of our age . " He served on the British government' s Population Investigation Commission between World War I and World War II , was vice president of the Eugenics Society from 1 937-44, and was its president when he founded the WWF in 1 96 1 . He also served as a vice president of "the Fauna," as its aristocratic members still fondly call it. The ideology of both institutions , and of their WWF spawn , dates in its modem fonp. from Sir Francis Galton, who coined the term "eugenics ,"land his first cousin, Charles EIR

October 28 , 1 994

Darwin , who in 1 859 authored his infamous Origin of the Species by Means of Natural Selection, or the Preservation of Favored Races in the Struggle for Life . Galton aimed to propagate the pseudo-scientific humbug of Darwinism's "survival of the fittest" in the human arena, and so defined the aims of his "Race Betterment Movement" as : "To create a new and superior race through eugenics ," which would require the human race to be "culled . " The Darwin-Huxley tribe and its cousins have propagated this doctrine unceas­ ingly over the past century and a half. What became the WWF took shape in the pre-World War II period in the Political and Economic Planning satellite of a Rhodes-descended Foreign Office think-tank, the Royal Institute of International Affairs . Its "planning" focused on eugenics , raw materials control , and world-government; its two top officials , Max Nicholson and Julian Huxley , later founded both the IUCN and the WWF . Huxley continued his eugenics fixation after the war as the first head of the U.N. Educational, Social, and Cultural Organization (Unesco) . As he said in its founding document, "Thus even though it is quite true that any radical eugenic policy will be for many years politically and psychologically impossible, it will be important for Unesco to see that the . . .

Prince Philip's friends ran ' Get LaRouche' plot When Henry Kissinger, an asset of London ' s Chatham House (Royal Institute for International Affairs) and self­ described British agent, successfully lobbied officials of the Reagan Department of Justice and the FBI to launch a politically motivated witchhunt against U. S . economist Lyndon LaRouche and his political movement in early 1 983 , it was a longtime activist in the Prince Philip orbit who was given the job of running a global media propa­ ganda campaign to set the stage for the railroad prosecu­ tion and possible assassination of LaRouche . John Train, a Wall Street banker and cousin of WWF­ U . S . A . President Russell Train, convened a series of meetings beginning in April 1 983 which drew together a score of journalists , government agents , and officials of the Anti-Defamation League of B ' nai B ' rith (ADL) . Out of the meetings came a barrage of slanders which appeared in such divergent news outlets as NBC-TV , the Wall Street Journal, Reader' s Digest, and the Soviet magazine Li­

public mind is informed of the issues at stake so that much that now is unthinkable may at least become thinkable. " World government was the answer, Huxley and Nichol­ son emphasized, and "wildlife conservation" was a pathway to this goal . Huxley said that "the spread of man must take second place to the conservation M other species . " His co­ worker Nicholson, permanent secretary to five postwar Brit­ ish foreign ministers and one of Britain' s most powerful civil servants , said in his 1 970 history of the world environmental movement, The Environmental Revolution: A Guide for the New Masters of the World, which he and Huxley had largely founded , that, given the migratory patterns of the world' s birds , "the lesson has been learnt and unreservedly accepted that Ducks Unlimited means Sovereignty Superseded. There are many subjects besides ducks where the same lesson ap­ plies , but few where it has been mastered . " I n 1 960, as much o f Africa was preparing for indepen­ dence , the 74-year-old Huxley took an arduous three-month tour of Africa, preaching that the mewly independent states could not be trusted to "conserve �ildlife . " Under that cover, and with the aim of subverting and destroying independence, Huxley and Nicholson linked up the following year with their royal soulmate Prince Philip. The WWF was born .

sold arms to Ayatollah Khomeini , was instrumental in the December 1988 prosecution of LaRouche and a half­ dozen associates . Evidence of the: role of the Train salon was systematically suppressed during and after the trial . This evidence should have resulted in overturning the case altogether. Train runs a New York investment counseling firm, Smith Train, which has been owned by Anglo-Swedish interests since the early 1 980s . Two members of the Roth­ schild family sit on the board of the holding company that owns 50% of Smith Train , and Train' s chief associate in London is Steven Keynes , nephew of John Maynard Keynes , the British economist. But Train' s deepest ties to Prince Philip come through his 45-year intimate collaboration with Teddy Goldsmith , the older brother of "green" indusCrialist Sir Jimmy Gold­ smith and the publisher of the Ecologist, the house organ of the radical wing of the WWF apparatus . Train and Teddy Goldsmith first hooked up in Paris in the early 1 950s , along with "Children of the Sun" literatus Stephen Spender, a "radical" asset of British royal intelligence , to co-found Paris Review. Teddy Goldsmith was the founder of such key WWF instruments as Survival International and the green parties in Europe . . Sir James, along with Britain' s casino czar and leading environmentalist John Aspinall, bankrolled Friends of the Earth-U .

Prince Philip 's murderous world view, in his own words We need to 'cull' the surplus Press conference at the National Press Club in Washington, D . C . on the occasion of the "Caring for Creation" confer­ ence of the North American Conference on Religion and Ecology, May 18, 1 990. It is now apparent that the ecological pragmatism of the so-called pagan religions , such as that of the American Indi­ ans , the Polynesians , and the Australian Aborigines , was a great deal more realistic in terms of conservation ethics than the more intellectual monotheistic philosophies of the re­ vealed religions .

For example, the World Health Organization Project, designed to eradicate malaria from Sri Lanka in the postwar years , achieved its purpose . But the problem today is that Sri Lanka must feed three times as many mouths , find three times as many jobs , provide three times the housing , energy , schools , hospitals and land for settlement in order to maintain the same standards . Little wonder the natural environment and wildlife in Sri Lanka has suffered . The fact [is] . . . that the best-intentioned aid programs are at least partially responsible for the problems .

Lecture to the European Council of International Schools . Montreaux, Switzerland, Nov. 14, 1 986. The great difficulty about "life" is that we humans are part of it, and it is therefore almost impossible to study objec­ tively . . . . It therefore tends to be anthropocentric and gives scant attention to the welfare of all the other life-forms which share this planet with us . . . . When the Bible says that man shall have "dominion" over God's creation , the choice is between understanding dominion as in "having power over," or dominion as "having responsibility for. " 28

A farmer . . . is respecting the natural system and practic­ ing what ecologists refer to as maintaining a sustainable yield . This is the basis of the economics of nature . It is just as important as the economics · of money, since no human activity can be considered in isolation from the natural world which is our life support system. In other words , once you ha'te interfered with the balance of nature it becomes necessary: to maintain the balance by artificial means . This means that some animals have to be killed in the interest of maintaining the health and viability of the species as a whole as well as the benefit of other more vulnerable species. Unfortunately there are many people who object to that sort of thing . Ecology is not concerned with the fate of individual ani­ mals . It accepts the concept of the exploitation of surplus natural resources because that is in the way the natural system works , but it must always be dqne on the principle of main­ taining a sustainable yield . . . . The inexorable rule of nature is that if you mess up your environment you will have to pay a heavy price sooner or later . . . . Just look around the globe today and you cannot fail to notice areas which at one time supported highly successful and civilized populations are either deserts or they have reverted to jungle . The reason is quite simple: they over-exploited their natural resources and they paid the price . It is naive to think that we can escape the same fate for very much longer. We are only managing to put off the evil hour by frantically digging up and using mineral resources that can never be renewed. As if that were not enough , we are polluting the atmosphere , the land and the waters with every kind of noxious substance . The "green­ house effect" alone could weB have devastating conse­ quences for all life on earth . This is a reflection of the duality of man ' s brain. The left brain produces the reasonable answers after objective scientific research , while the right brain prefers the accept­ able and the emotionally satisfa4tory answers . How often do people say , "That may be so , but I prefer to 'believe' or I like to believe . . . this , that or the oUter"? The duality of the brain has created great problems for modem man . . . . It is . . . significant that successful engi­ neering makes money . This is in stark contrast to the super-

natural , whether it is religious or mythological . In the latter cases the truth may be equally certain , but it is not verifiable , and the outcome of following rules is seldom predictable . It is, of course , possible to exploit magic and mythology commercially , but it could hardly be described as a manufac­ turing industry . . . . There is an understandable public pressure for schools and colleges to concentrate on utilitarian subjects to the ex­ clusion of cultural and aesthetic development . In other words , the development of the left brain is given a great deal more attention than that of the right brain . . . . The trouble is that neglect of the development of the right brain leaves it in a state of vacuum . . . . This means that the right brain is ready to absorb the first plausible ideas it happens across . The occult, obscure religious rites, parapsychology , astrolo­ gy and similar attractive but irrational notions are sucked into the vacant space without any discrimination or critical faculty . . . . I also suspect that the use of drugs might be seen as a substitute , or short cut, to filling the vacuum of the right brain . . . . I mention all this because man ' s attitude to nature is partly a function of the left brain and partly a function of the right brain . It is easy enough to encourage an emotional concern for nature and the living world . . . . Everyone can compre­ hend the idea of cruelty , very few can comprehend the extinc­ tion of a specie s .

properly fed , human life must be p eserved and human exis­ tence must be made safer and more comfortable . All these I things are obviously highly desirable , but if their achievement means putting the survival of future generations at risk , then there is a pressing obligation on present generations to apply some measure of self-restrai t .

The conflict between instinct and reason has reached a critical stage in man ' s affairs , largely because the explosion of facts has revealed the instincts for what they are and at the same time it has undermined traditional philosophies and ideologies. The explosion of facts has effectively altered mankind ' s physical and intellectual environment and when any environment changes, the process of natural selection is brutal and merciless. "Adapt or die" is as true today as it was in the beginning .

The Hunt Country of Middleburg , Virginia is the home-away-from-home for many of the British elite . Modeled on the mansions of the English countryside , the huge estates are home to some of the wealthiest and most powerful American families . Middleburg resi­ dents welcomed the Duke and Duchess of Windsor in 1 94 1 , after he was forced to abdicate the throne for their unswerving allegiance to Adolf Hitler. Support for the Windsors ' genocidal population policy is main­ tained today by numerous American members and fi­ nancial activists in the 1 00 1 Club and the World Wide Fund for Nature (WWF) who make Middleburg and the surrounding countryside their home . Prominent .in this apparatus is Arthur Windsor "Nicky" Arundel, a newspaper publisher and key member of the task force that railroaded Lyndon LaRou�he into prison on trumped-up charges . Trained as a propaganda specialist for the CIA in Vietnam in the 1 950s , Arundel used the Loudoun Times-Mirror, one of several Hunt Country weeklies owned by him, to retail phony "evidence" against LaRouche and to propagandize for his prosecution. Arundel founded the African Wildlife Leadership Foundation , of Nairobi , Kenya and Washington , D .

success create the surpluses afte� allowing for the replacement of the losses . Predation , climatic variation, disease , starva­ tion-and in the case of the inappropriately named Homo sa­ piens, wars and terrorism-are the principal means by which population numbers are kept under some sort of control . Viewed dispassionately , it must be obvious that the world ' s human population has grown to such a size that it is threatening its own habitat; and it has already succeeded in causing the extinction of large: numbers of wild plant and animal species. Some have sillilply been killed off. Others have quietly disappeared, as their habitats have been taken over or disturbed by human activities .

Humans are the greatest threat to survival Interview with HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in People Dec . 2 I , 1 981 titled "Vanishing Breeds Worry Prince Philip, But Not as Much as Overpopulation . "

Q : What do you consider tbe leading threat to the envi­ ronment? A: Human population growth is probably the single most serious long-term threat to survival . We 're in for a major disaster if it isn 't curbed-not j,st for the natural world, but for the human world . The more people there are , the more resources they ' ll consume , the qtore pollution they ' ll create , the more fighting they will do . We have no option . If it isn 't controlled voluntarily , it will be controlled involuntarily by an increase in disease , starvation and war.

Address to the Joint Meeting ofthe All-Party Group on Popu­ lation and Development and the All-Party Conservation Committee in London, March 1 J , 1 987. I do believe . . . that human population pressure-the sheer number of people on thi$ planet-is the single most important cause of the degrad�tion of the natural environ­ ment, of the progressive extinction of wild species of plants and animals , and of the destabilization of the world' s climatic and atmospheric systems . The simple fact is that the human population of the world is consuming natural renewable resources faster than it can regenerate , and the process of exploitation is causing even further damage . If this is already' happening with a population of 4 billion , I ask you to imagine what things will be like when the population reaches 6 and then 10 billion. . . . All this has been made possible by the industrial revolution and the scientific explosion and it is, spread around the world by the new economic religion of dflvelopment.

The survival of the 'most important' Interview with HRH Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, in People magazine, Dec . 2 1 , 1 981 titled "Vanishing Breeds Worry Prince Philip, But Not as Much as Overpopulation .

Q: Is birth control part of the solution? A: Yes , but you can't legislate these problems away . You' ve got to get people to understand the need for it: the more important people, the ones who have responsibilities have got to do it because they're at the receiving end. They ' ve got to accept the measures . The Chancellor' s Lecture, Salford University, June 4, 1 982 . As long ago as 1 798, Malthus explained what happens when the factors limiting the increase in any population are removed . One of the factors noticed by Darwin was that all species are capable of producing vastly greater populations than can be sustained by existing resources ; populations did not increase at the rate at which they are capable was the basis for his theory of Evolution by Natural Selection . The relevance to natural selection of this capacity for overproduction is that as each individual is slightly different to all the others it is probable that under natural conditions those individuals which happen to be best adapted to the prevailing circumstances have a better chance of survival . Well, so what? Well , take a look at the figures for the human population of this world . One hundred fifty years ago it stood at about 1 ,000 million or in common parlance today , 1 bil­ lion . It then took about a 100 years to double to 2 billion . It took 30 years to add the third billion and 15 years to reach today ' s total of 4.4 billion. With a present world average rate of growth of 1 . 8 % , the total population by the year 2000 will have increased to an estimated 6 billion and in that and in subsequent years 100 million people will be added to the world population each year. In fact it could be as much as 1 6 billion b y 2045 . A s a consequence the demand o n resources of land alone will mean a third less farm land available and the destruction of half of the present area of productive tropical forest. Bearing in mind the constant reduction of non-renew­ able resources , there is a strong possibility of growing scarci­ ty and reduction of standards . More people consume more resources . It is as simple as that; and transferring resources and standards from the richer to the poorer countries can only have a marginal effect in the face of this massive increase in the world population .

In the introduction to the meN Red Data Books which list all animals and plants under eat of extinction, it says that virtually everywhere the majdr threat to a wild species is loss of habitat to a rapidly increasing human population requiring more space in order to build villages and cities and grow more food . But starvation and poverty cannot be eradicated solely by increased food and resources at the ex­ pense of what remains of the natural world. Any increase in the provision of food and resources must be accompanied by a drastic reduction in the rate of increase in the human population .

Address on Receiving Honorary Degreefrom the University of Western Ontario, Canada, July I , 1 983 . The industrial revolution sparked the scientific revolution and brought in its wake better public hygiene, better medical care and yet more efficient agriculture . The consequence was a popUlation explosion which still continues today. The sad fact is that, instead of the same number of people being very much better off, more than twice as many people are just as badly off as they were before . Unfortunately all this well-intentioned development has ,resulted in an ecological disaster of immense proportions .

The Chancellor' s Lecture, Salford University, June 4, 1 982 . The object of the WWF is to "¢onserve" the system as a whole; not to prevent the killing of individual animals .

" Such people may exist in the imagination and occasionally someone with th¢ necessary qualities may briefly dominate the stage of histo , but it is a naive appreci­ ation of human nature to imagine that such processed para­ gons can be invested with the nec ssary powers and not be tempted to take advantage of their situation .

World Wide Fund for Nature commits genocide in Mrica by Linda de Hoyos On Aug . 3 1 , as U . S . troops and relief workers were fighting a losing battle against cholera, dysentery , and starvation among 1 million Rwandan refugees-one half of them chil­ dren-in eastern Zaire , the New York Times editorial called upon Americans to ponder the fate of Rwanda' s gorilla popu­ lation: "For the moment . . . Rwanda' s gorillas have escaped harm , which is splendid news. Still , the widespread sigh of relief will be muted . Amid so ghastly a human catastrophe in Rwanda, one may feel an uneasy twinge of gUilt in worrying

about the fate of non-humans. In truth , " says the Times, striking a Darwinian posture , "all living things are bound together in this calamity, and gorillas are a small evolutionary link away from Homo sapiens . . . . . Fortunately , a census has accounted for all but two of the creatures whose passing would now be almost like a death in the family . " This concern for 650 gorillas i s one indication o f the extent to which Prince Philip' s psychotic confusion of ani­ mals with human beings has permeated society .

In all the maps and tables which follow, 'protected areas' designates what various legal conventions define as 'strict nature resellVes,' "national parks,· "special reserves,' "game reserves' and 'sanctuaries,' where hunting, agriculture, or other forms of human economic activity are forbidden . ., some cases , human entry into protected areas is forbidden or restricted. Because of incomplete data "national forests: where logging, but not other forms of human !8COnomic activity are forbidden, is not here included as a protected area. Statistics in some cases may not be reflected in some maps, owing to the failure of the IUCN Jo fully display the information reportI ed in their statistical tabulations. In some cases, the IUCN fails to report substantial protected areas.

sanctuary to a British-owned in�rgency goes to the heart of the British royal family ' s gnu� strategy for Africa. The segregation of large tracts of land �s "national parks ," "game reserves," "ecological reserves , " as led to untold slaughter of humans and animals througho Africa. Today , game reserves and natiqnaI parks occupy 1 ,988 , 168 square IQIometers of sub-Saharan I Africa-8 .2% of the land area, an extent five times the size o-Cordillera Azul and Alexander von Humboldt national p�rks, which straddle the Huallaga River and its drug-trafficki'19 corridor. It is also the main remaining locus of the indigenjst Shining Path narco­ terrorists, who maintain a symbiotic relationship with the drug traffickers. 5. Apurimac Reserved Zone, Peru : In August 1 994, Peruvian Army troops uncovered 300 mass graves containing 1 ,200 corpses of butchered Ashaninka I ndians, on the eastem bank of the Ene River, inside the 1 ,669,290-hectare Apurfmac Reserved Zone. The Ashaninkas had been strangled or hacked to death after years of enslav� ment, by British-backed Shining Path guerrillas operating in t � e park. Beginning in 1 988, the narco-terrOrists had forced the un­ cooperative Ashaninkas to work "fram sun-up to sun-down, stripping them of their lands, their a r; mals, and their meager belongings, subjecting them to . . . interminable sessions of ideological indoctrination, watched , · tortured, and assassi­ nated on the slightest allegation of 'treason' by political com­ missars," according to the Peruvian daily La Republica. When the Ashaninkas became ill from malnutrition or poor treatment, they were simply eliminated as "human paraSites." London has been the international logistical and propa­ ganda base for Shining Path since at least 1 983, when the Revolutionary International Movement (RIM) was fou nded there. RIM, a terrorist international which includes Shining Path , is committed to aiding "all indigenous peoples' strug­ gles." In August 1 992, the British Home Office, operating through its I ndependent Broadcasting Authority ( I BA), pro­ duced and broadcast a "documentary" glorifying Shining Path, which it then handed over to the narcQ-terrorist group for inter­ national use in fund raising and propaganda. To produce the report, two IBA reporters had accompanied Shining Path on their rampages. Continued on page 60

6. Bolivia: This unpopulated nation is designated to be­ come one large "eco-tourist" camp. The Noel Kempff National Park, a wilderness area the size of West Virginia on Bolivia's border with Brazil, is the centerpiece of a government-private plan to bring in up to $1 billion from such "ecological tourism" over the course of a decade. Foreign sponsors of the park include: the Nature Conservancy, Wildlife Conservation Soci­ ety, Conservation International , the New York Academy of Sciences, and the U.S. government's Agency for International Development. Plans are already under way to triple the size of

the park, making it one of the largest in South America.

7. Argentlna :The Argentil)le branch of WWF, the Funda­ cion Vida Silvestre Argentina (FVSA) , is deployed to block the construction of an oil pipeline in the Cabo Virgenes area in the far south ; has proposed legislation which designates ecologi­ cal crimes ; drafted legislation which was later approved which severely limits the use of pesticides in agriculture; and has targeted the country's significant nuclear and aerospace in­ dustries for destruction.

South American projects The protected areas have become a major obstacle to the construction of great infrastructure projects, which are the only answer to the economic genocide ravaging Ibero-America. The same obstruction of needed infrastructure projects applies in North America, where the large tracts of set-aside land in the western states block necessary water projects such as Nawapa (the North American Water and Power Alliance) . The following three projects are the most critical in South America:

1 . The Pan American Railroad : This is a proposed con­ tinental North-South line running down from North America through Central America, cutting across the Darien Gap into Colombia, and then running south from Bogota, Colombia, to Santa Cruz, Bolivia, along the harrow strip of flatlands on the eastern slope of the Andes. In S anta Cruz it would link up with existing lines running to Sao Paulo, Brazil and Buenos Aires, Argentina. The two most important trans-Andean spurs would run from Iquitos to Chiclayo in Peru , and from Santa Cruz to Arica, Chile. These routes are blocked t)y environmental parks across Central America, such as the proposed "Path of the Panther" ; in the Darien Gap; throughout the eastern slope of the Andes; an d along both trans-Andean reputes.

2. A new interoceanic canal: The world needs a new sea-level canal capable of handling supertankers of up to 300,000 tons deadweight. There are two preferred routes: one cutting through Panama just west of the current canal ; another, known as the Atratd-Truando Canal, which runs through the Darien Gap region bf Colombia, taking advantage of existing rivers and lakes. They are both blocked by existing and projected protected areas, including in the Darien Gap and the "Path of the Panther."

3. River integration : The single most important infra­ structure project for opening up the interior of the continent to development and population� is the integration of the area's three great river systems: the Orinoco, the Amazon, and the Rio de la Plata systems. When the 1 0,000 km route is completed, ships could sail directly into every country in Sduth America, except for Chile. Sixty-eight percent of the route is already navigable for medium-sized ships and barges; another 28% requires rela­ tively minor dredging, channel widening, and similar works; major projects are required on bnly 4% of the route. Of these, there are two major canals, which must be constructed : one linking the Orinoco and the Amazon rivers in southern Vene­ zuela, the other connecting the /Amazon and the Parana rivers in western Brazil. Both fall in rotected areas.

The royal plot to splinter Australia The cutting edge of the attempt to shatter the sovereignty of the Australian nation is the "aboriginal land rights" move­ ment, the local arm of Prince Philip' s international "indige­ nous peoples" apparat. A glance at a map shows an almost unbroken swath of territory in the center of the country run­ ning from the continent' s northern coast to its southern one , in major portions of which one needs a permit from the local aboriginal lands council to even set foot. Australia's 250 ,000 aborigines , approximately 1 . 5 % of the nation' s 1 7 million population , at present hold 1 5 % of the nation ' s land, and have filed claims for another 1 0% . These massive holdings form the basis to carve out an "aboriginal nation ," which would split Australia in half; this has been called for by Australia's Uniting Church Synod , the country' s most influential religious body; World Council of Churches-tied liberation theologists; and the communist foot soldiers of the aboriginal land rights movement. Such "sover­ eign aboriginal republics" were called for at the fourth and

,

sixth conferences of the Communist International in the 1 920s and have been standard leftist demands since then. Added to lands set aside under various "wilderness" or con­ servation guises , the total land either now or in the near future to be taken out of circulation , not 4 of which is shown on the map , comprises at least 32 % of tlte continent. On June 3, 1 992, the High Court of Australia ruled in the case of Eddie Mabo v. Queensland that Australia's common law recognized native title to land. The previous legal doctrine, which went back to 1 788 and which hrut declared Australia terra nullus (empty land) before the British arrived, was overturned, potentially throwing the entire continept up for grabs . In addition to private funding by those Anglophile Austra­ lian bluebloods typified by the boards of the Australian Con­ servation Foundation and WWF-Australia, the government' s Aboriginal and Torres Straights Islanders Commission (ATSIC) pours $2 . 2 billion per year into "aboriginal rights ," little of which benefits aborigines . I n addition to the aboriginal-claimed land, vast chunks of Australia have been confiscated under a myriad of "conserva­ tion ," "world heritage , " or "wildern¢ss" designations . Over 1 . 2 million square kilometers of Australia ' s total of7 ,682 ,427 have been so designated. The federal Australian Heritage Commission , like the Australian Conservation Foundation a constituent body of the International Union for the Conserva­ tion of Nature , reported 1 0 ,520 "conaerved sites" in 1 992; by the time of their annual report for 1 992-93 , they had 1 8 ,000 such listings, with 1 ,576 more awaiting consideration.
